New manager Mick McCarthy appears unlikely to make many dramatic changes as he goes into his first game as Blues boss at Birmingham City on Saturday. McCarthy and his assistant Terry Connor officially took over at Portman Road yesterday and haven’t had too much time to work with their new players.
Town boss Mick McCarthy will be looking for the Blues to claim their first away win of the season when they take on Birmingham City at St Andrew’s this evening (KO 7.45pm). Only Cameron Stewart (broken jaw) and Stephen Hunt (calf) have missed the trip to the Midlands through injury.
Christophe Berra netted twice, the second deep into injury time, as Town grabbed a 2-2 draw at Birmingham having been behind twice. David Edgar put the home side in front on the half hour, Berra equalised for the Blues five minutes after the break, Clayton Donaldson put Birmingham back in front before the Scottish international’s late, late leveller.
